About time...

...I got round to reviewing some socks. I kid you not. When I got an email asking me if I'd be interesting in reviewing some socks, it coincided with Mr MDS having some holes in his and I thought 'oh something new'.
When the 3 pairs duly arrived from Happy Socks they were handily 2 men's sizes and one for me although only just because I've got tiny feet barely a UK size 4. Anyway I didn't like the colour they sent although in the summer it will be quite nice and the ones I forced Mr MDS to wear are bright pink and red so he only wears them at the weekend.


So colour selection aside I have to say they are made from lovely cotton with the necessary amount of polymide and elastane to keep their shape and glide on with ease. They wash well and if you like bright and bold then they are the socks for you! They do have more subdued offering but always with a little twist. I like Scandinavian quirkiness and any sock that offers happiness surely is worth it n'est pas?

  2. Scandinavians have a knack of using some interesting colours in their garments. It must be the dreary winter weather making them to play around with colours to cheer people up. :P
